Hey Everyone! Yes, I am new to this site and I would like to get some suggestions on the best way to care for my leather seats in my M3.
I just purchased the car last month and the previous owner did a good job of maintaining the seats. I would like to continue what the previous owner started ... so, any suggestions?
Jamie--I use Zaino's (www.zainobros.com) leather cleaner and leather conditioner on mine. Best stuff I've used yet. They carry a full line of auto care products and I use most of them on my cars. In between major detailing, I use Aerospace 303 for touchups. Great stuff for rubber, vinyl, and leather. A little expensive, but lasts longer than other products.

I didn't think anyone else used Zaino I use their paint polish but haven't tried any other products they have. I've never tried their leather cleaner, I've always use Lexol and had good results when I used it in my Z28.
Yes, I also use Leatherique. However, it is not for regular use. It is a deep cleaner/restorer. Normally used every six months or so. You will still need a leather care product for the regular maintenance.

Zaino has a large following. Especially in the sports car world. Just check how popular it is on the "Corvette Forum". Amazing results.

I know what you mean. If you don't want that shiney "butt" look, then give the Zaino a try. I have a light pewter interior in my vette and it looks great after application.
